Beckham Update

From the LA Times:

David Beckham has returned to Los Angeles from England to resume rehabilitation work on his right knee and hopes to play for the Galaxy again before the end of the Major League Soccer season, his spokesman said Tuesday. Glenn Lehrman said Beckham flew back from London on Sunday after visiting his father, Ted, who was hospitalized last week after suffering a heart attack. Meanwhile, Lehrman scoffed at reports in England's Daily Mirror that claimed Beckham was unhappy at the quality of play in MLS and was considering a six-month loan to Sunderland of the English Premier League.

Sunderland is coached by Beckham's former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane, but the club has discounted the rumor, as has the Galaxy.

"There will be no loan moves or short-term contracts," one of Beckham's spokesman said. "He is under contract to the Galaxy."
